Fourth in the series of core values. Disciples who worshiping, connecting
with other believers and growing in their faith and knowledge of the Bible
will naturally want serve others. Serving is one of the ways we know we are
growing and living out our faith. Jesus said, "I came not to be served but
to serve."

One of the core activities of fully-devoted followers of Jesus is
CONNECTING with other believers and the best way to do that is by eating
together. Eating represents identity and equality. It was the way of Jesus
and it should be the way of his followers.

Just like you need to plan and pack for a long trip, for a worship service
to be meaningful, you must prepare ahead of time and bring certain things
with you. Listen and learn as Pastor Chip discusses what worship really is
and how to get the most out of it.

In this message from Vision Sunday 2015, Pastor Chip points the church to
the early church in Acts 2 as a model for the church today, focused on
worship, relationships, Bible study, and service as the keys to effective
discipleship.

The Christian faith is never an "idle" faith. It's not a philosophical
category. The Christian faith is an active faith. Jesus said that because
he had all authority in heaven and earth he was sending us to make
disciples. Pastor Chip discusses that this is part of the real meaning of
Christmas.
